Turner & Townsend Pty Limited

What is the best part of working at the company?
Unless you are an associate director or above there aren't many benefits to working for this company

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They over work you with little compensation. They really don't care much about the employees. High turnover. And that turnover is getting more and more at the senior levels. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible. It's a toxic environment. High turnover. They keep buying more and more companies without bothering to take care of the staff and people they currently have. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work you to the bone. If you work overtime, you don't get paid or time off in lieu. It's just expected and you are told that the profits don't match the extra time worked.

My experience at Turner & Townsend in Nashville was extremely disappointing due to a toxic work culture, particularly within the Cost Center. Leadership often fostered a clique-like environment where promotions seemed based on personal friendships rather than performance or merit. It felt less like a professional setting and more like navigating social dynamics in a sorority house.

Turnover was high, and leadership made it clear that advancement required working 60+ hour weeks—an unhealthy and unsustainable expectation. The VP leading the Cost Center appeared disengaged, showed favoritism, and lacked the qualities of an effective or supportive leader. It’s worth examining why so many talented individuals have chosen to leave—it’s a reflection of deeper systemic issues that start at the top.

It is hard to talk about a typical day at TTFR, as being a project manager entails wearing a variety of hats.  One day might be about sitting through a lengthy design process, another one about going through contracts, or proposals, and others might be spent at a construction site.  
The diversity of this experience has allowed me to expand from my training as a designer, to understand what it is it takes to fund and execute a project. 
Management is organized and integrated by a competent team.  
The hardest part of the job is the pressure to get the job done, but as client representative, not having the last word on any decisions, as these are taken directly by ownership.
The most enjoyable part of the job is to actually be able to interact with many disciplines and constituencies of the process.

Turner & Townsend is an excellent environment for professionals who value structure, quality, and international best practice. The company promotes high standards of delivery and integrity across all projects. As part of a global consultancy, you gain exposure to world-class clients, complex data centre and infrastructure projects, and robust project control methodologies.
Career progression is transparent and merit-based — hard work and results are recognized. The leadership team encourages professional growth through mentorship, training, and opportunities to take ownership of challenging portfolios. Collaboration and accountability are key parts of the culture, and the global network allows you to learn from top-tier peers across regions.

British owned.  Therefore here in the US citizens are a lesser value within the company culture.   Opportunities for advancement are constantly designed to be provided to British or Irish employees.
Depending on which client account an employee works upon then that is the culture of that team.
They had a very contaminated VP destroying moral and treating employees poorly, and even loosing a client account.  Top management was aware, but because he was British, did not act to resolve promptly.

What is the best part of working at the company?
T&T has excellent benefits and that's about it.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Incompetent management at the Director level.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The sub-director level, who are actually putting in the work, get along great and are a good team on most jobs. Director level is oblivious to what is actually going on and screw things up when they get involved.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work for 8 hours but have to stay 2 hours late because directors are still at work because they came in late..

My typical day varies everyday. No day is identical to the last. I love the fast paced and diverse working environment.  During my time at Turner & Townsend, I've learned tremendously about construction and the different components of a project from start to finish. The hardest part of my job has been all the changes that has happened in this past year, because the changes has to do with the SVP that I was hired to support. The most enjoyable part of my job would have to be the team not only here on the west coast but the overall company.

Overall Turner & Townsend is a very good company to work for and very concerned for their employees.  My tenure was sort term due to Covid but had this not been the case I'm sure I would have continued to be an employee.  Working as a contractor on the Facebook jobsite at times I felt out of touch with Turner but they always had things going on to include me in company events and trainings.  They truly care about their employees.
